Lausdeo – All for the Glory of God
Welcome to Lausdeo, a space of faith, healing, and journeying together towards Christ. Whether through prayer, pilgrimage, or community, Lausdeo invites you to walk closer with God and discover His peace for your life.

 H1 About Us

Lausdeo (Latin for “Praise be to God”) is a ministry dedicated to helping people encounter the love of the Father, the healing power of Jesus, the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that faith is not just lived in church but in every step of life — in prayer, in community, and in mission. Our work is rooted in Scripture, tradition, and the living power of the Holy Spirit at work in the Church today.

H1 Pilgrimages

Lausdeo pilgrimages are journeys of the soul as much as journeys of the body. Each trip is an invitation to prayer, healing, and deeper encounter with Christ.

H1 Retreats

Our retreats provide a sacred space to step away from the noise of daily life and enter into God’s presence.

Types of Retreats:

• Inner Healing Retreats – A gentle, Spirit-led time of prayer, reflection, and healing for emotional wounds and past hurts.
• Silent Reflection Days
• Guided Prayer and Scripture Retreats
• Marian Retreats

Each retreat is designed to help you open your heart, listen to God’s voice, and experience renewal.

H1Invite Lausdeo to Your Community

Dear Friends in Christ,

One of the greatest joys of Lausdeo is being able to walk with parishes, prayer groups, and communities in moments of renewal. I am available to come and lead a day retreat, a weekend mission, or a special program during key times such as Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Advent, or whenever your community feels the need for renewal.

These retreats are always rooted in Scripture, prayer, and openness to the Holy Spirit. They are designed not as lectures, but as encounters with the living God who heals, restores, and sets us free.

H1Books

Lausdeo also shares the journey of healing and renewal through the written word. Brendan Shanahan has written books that flow directly out of prayer, ministry, and lived experience — offering hope and practical ways to draw closer to God.

H2 Looking for the Missing Peace

A heartfelt guide to inner healing and the search for wholeness in Christ.
This book weaves together personal stories, scripture, prayer exercises, and reflections that touch the human heart. It invites readers to discover the peace that only Jesus can give, and to walk with Him through wounds, forgiveness, and new beginnings.

A gentle companion for anyone longing to move from brokenness into freedom.

 H2Healing Me

A contemplative, prayer-filled journey into God’s healing love.
Structured as a spiritual guide with 10 themed sections, this book blends scripture, prayer, reflection, and practical exercises. It emphasizes intimacy with God through the Holy Spirit, healing of emotional wounds, and transformation into a new creation in Christ.

A beautiful resource for personal prayer, parish groups, or retreat follow-up.

H2 Why Invite Lausdeo?

Because we all long for renewal. Sometimes our people carry hidden wounds, unspoken griefs, or burdens they don’t know how to release. A retreat gives them the time, space, and guidance to meet the Lord in those places and walk away freer, lighter, and stronger in faith.
